While walking to the coffee shop during my son's ballet lesson, I walked past a flowering tree. Surprised, I stopped and gazed at the cheerful blooms. I have heard of fuyuzakura (winter cherry blossoms), but I don't think I've ever seen them for myself.
I've heard that there are some beautiful places to go and see fuyuzakura. I am thinking I need to go see one of those places very soon.
In 2017 my family headed to Tokyo. My husband had a new job and my son and I came along for the ride. This move was my second move to Japan - the first was for a year in 2002. At that time I was a single, recent college graduate. Moving abroad as a family was a whole different ball of wax. As I live this crazy life in Japan, I track our adventures and my observations, creating an unofficial guidebook to the city.
